Smaller F-value (opening the aperture) narrows the range that is in focus. This allows you
to put the subject in sharp focus and blur objects in front of and beyond the subject (depth
of field becomes shallower). Larger F-value (narrowing down the aperture) widens the
range that is in focus. This allows you to shoot the depth of the scenery (depth of field
becomes deeper).
You can change the click texture of the aperture ring using the Aperture Click Switch.
When shooting still images, set the Aperture Click Switch to “ON,” and for movies, set it to
“OFF.”

Note
When [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO], the ISO value automatically changes to achieve the
appropriate exposure using the aperture value and shutter speed you have set. If the
aperture value and shutter speed you have set are not suitable for appropriate exposure,
the ISO value indicator will blink.
The Metered Manual indicator does not appear when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].
When the amount of ambient light exceeds the metering range of the Metered Manual,
the Metered Manual indicator flashes.
The SteadyShot warning indicator does not appear in manual exposure mode.
The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.
You cannot select [Auto] under [ND Filter].
